Helper Springs for a 2011 Ford F-150 XLT with 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch  

Question:

My 2011 xlt f150 has the mounting plate on out side of frame for 5th wheel rails. Will they fit over these plates?

Expert Reply:

The Firestone air bag brackets for kit # F2525 also install on the outboard sides of the frame on a 2011 Ford F-150 so this kit will not work for you. You will need something that mounts only to the bottom or inboard sides of the frame rails.

If your truck is a 2-wheel drive I recommend Timbren springs # TFR1502D, and for a 4-wheel drive model use # TFR1504D. Timbren springs are more ideal for towing since the load is static, doesn't frequently change. Also there is no maintenance to worry about and you will not have to add or remove air all the time like you would with air bags. I have linked a help article about this style of helper springs to the right.
